Trump Weighs Military Move on Iran Uranium

0:00On March 30, President Trump is mulling a military move to grab nearly 1,000 pounds of uranium from Iran. It's a high-stakes plan that could send U.S. troops into the country for days or more, all aimed at stopping Iran from building a nuclear bomb. He's not locked in yet, but officials say he's weighing the dangers to American forces while pushing hard for diplomacy, too. Trump wants Iran to hand over the uranium as a step toward cooling the whole conflict. Referred from the White House is clear, the Pentagon's just prepping options to give the President flexibility no final call made. Meanwhile, countries like Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt are playing middleman, though no direct U.S. Iran talks have happened. Before last June's airstrikes by the U.S. and Israel, Iran had over 400 kilograms enriched to 60 percent and nearly 200 kilograms, at 20 percent stuff that could go weapons grade. Just believe it stashed in spots like an underground tunnel at Isbahan and another at Natanz.
